Lunch will be provided, and Cole Gleason will give our first "project preview" of the summer. Cole will talk about his recent work on "Crowdsourced Generation of Maps" for the purpose of navigation. Please sign up here to give your own project preview this summer! We'd love to hear from students, visitors, faculty members, etc who have an early-stage idea or recent project related to accessibility. We hope that these short informal talks can be a great opportunity for discussion, feedback, and brainstorming! To give a longer summer talk, sign up here for both slots on the day you'd like to reserve. To nominate someone or volunteer for a longer talk in the fall, email Amy at apavel at andrew.cmu.edu. Any scheduled talks will be listed here (thanks Cole!): http://accessibility.cs.cmu.edu/#lunch See you on Monday! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

At this week's lunch seminar, visiting researcher Rie Kamikubo will be talking about her recent work investigating how to match sighted mobility assistants with people who are blind or have visual impairments. The working title and abstract are included below. Lunch will be provided and we hope to see you there! - Amy ------ Speaker: Rie Kamikubo Title: How to Match the Sighted with the Visually Impaired in Remote Mobility Assistance Description: Pedestrians with visual impairments often require sighted guides for mobility assistance but they are not always available and do not facilitate independent mobility. Recent technological strides have been made to design mobile applications of sighted guidance services offering audio/video communication with sighted workers. However, little has been known regarding how assigning different types of expertise of the assistants impacts the overall user experience of remote mobility assistance. Our exploratory study focuses on investigating the influences of 1) unfamiliarity of the user environment and 2) limited sighted guide experiences, by analyzing the concerns, discourse, and perspectives of pedestrians and assistants in remote interaction for navigation tasks. We examined the benefits of environmental familiarity of the assistants but complications without awareness to contextually describe directional cues that sighted guide experts were able to offer. To suggest suitable matching conditions of the sighted and visually impaired, our insights contribute to directing training and requirements of the remote assistants to strengthen and complement their expertise levels. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Many thanks to the ideas/scheduling from Cole Gleason! Two options depending on what fits your schedule: * Meet us at 11am in the NSH atrium tomorrow to walk over to the museum to participate in the Access + Ability Art Chat. The Art Chat will occur in the lobby from 11:15am - 11:45am. * If you can't make the Art Chat, head over to the Carnegie Museum of Art at 12pm to wonder around the exhibit with us! Spend as long as you like at the exhibit. For more information about the Art Chat: https://cmoa.org/event/art-chat-access-ability/ For more information about the exhibit: https://cmoa.org/exhibition/access-ability/ We won't provide food this time, but we can reimburse admission for anyone who arrives with us for the Art Chat and would not get in for free under the Arts Pass program. Feel free to send email to me and Cole (cgleason at andrew.cmu.edu) with any questions. Hope to see you there! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
